@dr-go oh no! You purchased a gold mouthpiece … I can think of a million better ways to spend my money

That gold mouthpiece did not cost me a dime.

Jason threw the gold mouthpiece in for the original price I paid for the trumpet 4 years prior to receiving delivery of the horn. Yes, as you remember it took Jason 4 years to deliver on this horn. In Jason's defense, I purchased it at a time between which he had a stroke and then moved his business from Minnesota to Colorado. But his professionalism and business sense did provide me with a better horn, leadpipe and mouthpiece to fit on that leadpipe.

@Dr-GO
Definitely sounds like more than two trumpets. Great work , Doc.

I find writing the trumpet part up and octave and keeping the tenor part in the lower range really fills out a spectrum sounding out more harmonics. Some harmonies really help that are off the "traditional harmonics" like letting the ear hear the 5th so adding another harmonic to compliment that natural overtone.

And when not on the farm, well then there is hiking in Gatlinburg:

@Shepherds_Crook said in The One:

you might need a 2nd Harmon/Bubble mute for that Committee ... because adjusting the cork fit it will make the fit totally different on the Recording.

I agree. I have 2 Harmon mutes, one for my Committee and one for my Olds trumpets, with different cork thicknesses for this same reason.

A fun project is to match the popping frequency of the backbore to the cup, filing off the end of the shank until they match--then machine a Morse taper to the appropriate end diameter.

Adds zing to the response.

I agree to the above, but you can do this as well with the Harrelson Gap Kit.

Please feel free to take a picture and post it.

Here it is. Please note the base of notes is on a circle and the functional relation is a separate square that sits on top of the circle held in position by a peg, to allow the square to be dialed to the key one is wanting to play a function against:

Or hiking up Canyon Road in Santa Fe;

@Shepherds_Crook said in Adams new Balanced Trumpet at Taylor Music:

For the fans of the Olds Recording, Adams has just released a new balanced trumpet made exclusively for Taylor Music in Aberdeen, SD with offset valves! The horn is here: http://www.1800usaband.com/products/view/7875

The first response will be from Dr GO, I imagine = king of the Recordings!

OR one could just purchase a vintage Recording!

Blaine, you do know vintage, yes? I know you do. I purchased one from you. A REAL beauty.

Horn arrangements are just such a perfect rendition of that Chicago Sound. The percussion section also has the Chicago vibe. The keyboard and guitar however just does not duplicate the same energy as the original group.

Arturo on the solo was a real treat. The horn he is using is the Harrelson he brought to the Master Class I attended a few years ago.

But coming back home to Emily is the perfect ending to traveling:

All things have a lifetime they come to an end and die, and if you dont let them die when the time comes, they can become zombie like and only deliver existence with no real purpose.

So... are you saying all of us TMers here on TB are in our afterlife? Is TB trumpet heaven? TB does have it's own spirit, and I am wearing a halo... or is that the result of me having one-to-many gin and tonics?

@Jolter said in Adams new Balanced Trumpet at Taylor Music:

@Kehaulani Then it would no longer be the perfect fit it was for my Yamaha and other trumpets...

Yeah I know, I could own two harmon mutes. But the discovery coincided with a friend really needing a new trumpet, and after playing my Olds, it was clear it was meant for him.

But doesn't playing two harmon mutes lead to harmony

@Curlydoc said in 5pc Leather Mouthpiece Case:

... I am very pleased with the quality of the leather and the softness of the padding.

Interesting... That is exactly what my wife says when she looks at my belly!

NO SERIOUSLY.... Curlydoc, they do look beautiful!

May I suggest changing over to trumpet. Dents are more easily fixed.
Would loan him one of my own, but I too am a shellfish kinda guy!

you gain all function back. Once you are discharged, message me, as. I want to ask more specifics. I will make sure you will not have another and will recommend a protection plan for your heart as well which is the number 1 cause for mortality after a stroke. Let turn this setback into a stroke of good luck, OK .

I am actually very interested in that leather couch!
